CAR EVENTS

JUNE 2-4, 2023, Friday-Sunday, Greenwich – “…’Greenwich Concours d’Elegance’… Quoting from the official web site (https://www.greenwichconcours.com/): “…Fueling car culture: Saturday’s Cars & Community showcased 125 vehicles, including some of the gnarliest from the ‘80s and ‘90s at RADwood and the car world’s quirkiest at Concours d’Lemons. Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance celebrated 140 world-class vehicles. 57 judges from across the globe selected a Vignale-bodied 1948 Packard Convertible Victoria as Best of Show… Saving driving for future generations: More than 600 future drivers participated in the Kids Zone, zipping through the racing simulators and designing their own key chains. On Sunday, 15 Youth Judges enjoyed their Concours d’Elegance talking with car owners, learning about automotive history and even handing out awards to their favorite vehicles. Over 240 drivers got behind the wheel of a classic at the Hagerty Ride and Drive, including a 1970 Dodge Challenger, 1971 Ford Bronco, 1960 Plymouth Fury and a 1963 Lincoln Continental… Making a positive impact: Continuing a long tradition of fueling our communities, Hagerty pledged $15,000 to local community partners. A gift to the Greenwich Boys & Girls Club will provide summer program scholarships for local students, and contributions to the Greenwich Parks and Recreation will help underwrite their Summer Concert Series. Refillable water bottle stations provided by YETI reduced waste and environmental impact, dispensing the equivalent of 700 plastic bottles over the weekend. In a pilot program, the Concours distributed thousands of copies of the 2022 program electronically and sold a limited number of printed versions, with 100% of gross sales donated to the Greenwich Boys and Girls Club and Greenwich Parks and Recreation…”… Facebook page (make sure to visit and give ‘em a “Like” while you’re there): https://www.facebook.com/GreenwichConcours/ … (this event was added to this calendar as of 12/8/2022)

Thompson Road, Thompson, CT 06277… INFO:  https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/vscca-10th-thompson-vintage-motorsports-festival-speedway-park-679838 ... webmaster’s note – Not a spectator event, per se, although I got there for “Test Day,” on Thursday a couple of years ago, when I was meeting up with one of the racers from out of state, to purchase some used Formula Vee parts. He set me up with instructions of what to say to the people at the entrance gate, so that I was actually able to drive in, and drive virtually right up to his pit space (I was buying a set of four used wheels, so it was definitely advantageous to have my car within close walking distance). I had a FANTASTIC time visiting this event, as I had never even been to Thompson Speedway ever in my life, and not only did a get to meet a super-nice fellow (& his daughter who was going to be driving their Formula Vee in the weekend races), get a “guided tour” of many of the technical features of their FV racer (it’s an understatement that I have a MUCH greater appreciation for what goes into Formula Vees!), PLUS, with practice going on while I was there, I got to “drink in” (the sights & sounds were positively intoxicating!) a whole bunch of cool old racecars driving at speed on the track (including this fellow’s daughter, who was heading out for practice, while I was there—their car looked great on the track, and she was one smooth race driver, carving those corners!). Anyway, from that experience, I figured it was worth at least getting this event onto the calendar once again for this year... Even more info – Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on Facebook (be sure to visit and give ‘em a “Like”): https://www.facebook.com/ThompsonSpeedwayMotorsportsPark/ - and also VSCCA on Facebook is online at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/VSCCA ...

CRUISE NIGHTS, CARS & COFFEES (& Other Recurring Car Gatherings) 

IMPORTANT: Since the world of Cruise Night listings seems to be especially filled with old, out-of-date information--which has, on occasion, led to frustrating drives to non-existent cruises (we speak from direct personal experience!)--we've decided to do our best to only list confirmed listings (though we still urge you to call ahead before making any long trips, since we cannot guarantee anything), which we'll clearly highlight with a noticeable color--we have been alternating red and fuchsia in recent years to highlight the most recent years' listings. *12/15/2021 UPDATE - Will use BLUE for the new 2022 listings!!... Anyway, now that it's the New Year, if you have any confirmed 2022 cruise and/or recurring-type event listings, please send us yours--especially those Shoreline-oriented, for inclusion here--Thanks!...

(***UPDATED FOR 2023***) SUNDAYS (informal gatherings throughout the year; big ‘Official’ gatherings on specific dates), New Canaan (appears to be confirmed for 2023) - “…’Caffeine and Carburetors,’ Presented by Zumbach’s Coffee of New Canaan… 8:00am to 11:00am, at Pine Street in New Canaan, CT 08840…”… We are taking the Caffeine and Carburetors official web site (https://caffeineandcarburetors.com/) as the Official Word on these dates. Beyond the Sunday, May 21st Pine Street date, the two other “Official Dates” for these amazing gatherings are Sunday, September 17th at Pine Street, and Sunday, October 22nd, at Waveny Park, which is also in New Canaan… More info - Following is a description for one of these “big ‘Official’ events” (there are also informal “Lite” ones that happen pretty much throughout the year—I’ll get to those later), that I lifted from a “Cars And Coffee Events” (https://carsandcoffeeevents.com/) dedicated info page for one of the big “Official” events: “…Caffeine & Carburetors is a gathering of automotive enthusiasts. We meet at Zumbach’s Gourmet Coffee in New Canaan, CT to enjoy our rides and share them with like-minded gear heads hiding in and around Connecticut and New York. Smaller, informal gatherings occur every Sunday morning throughout the year with 4 larger events in the spring, summer, and fall. This is one of those larger events… We have a tendency to lean toward sports cars, with the occasional Model A or 1920's Rolls Royce, but our emphasis is on foreign sports cars. We enjoy all vehicles and there are no sponsorships or awards… Doug Zumbach began hosting these gatherings in 1995. These Sundays start around 8 am to gather and enjoy a cup of coffee followed by a leisurely drive through the countryside… Caffeine and Carburetors is a way to indulge the gear head in all of us… Being a gathering and not a juried event, there is no registration, and events are free for all… The event officially starts at 8:00 am, but if you’re showing your car, plan on getting there at the crack of dawn to get a good parking space….”… And now let’s get to the “Lite” info, as promised - Now what about these Caffeine and Carburetors “Lite” events, that happen on Sunday mornings throughout the year? I will quote from another Cars And Coffee Events info page, that describes these much more informal happenings: “…Caffeine & Carburetors is a gathering of automotive enthusiasts. We meet at Zumbach’s Gourmet Coffee in New Canaan, CT to enjoy our rides and share them with like-minded gear heads hiding in and around Connecticut and New York. Smaller, informal gatherings occur every Sunday morning throughout the year with 4 larger events in the spring, summer, and fall… We have a tendency to lean toward sports cars, with the occasional Model A or 1920's Rolls Royce, but our emphasis is on foreign sports cars.

Rockin’ Richard, the legendary DJ who runs the great oldies tunes for these events also indicated the event hours as 5pm to 8pm, as it has traditionally been over the years. Can’t wait to get back to some North Branford “Crusin’” for 2023! Thanks again Ed and Rockin’ Rich!... Additional info - The McDonalds and Dairy Queen who are the host businesses for this cruise night are located at 280 Branford Road, North Branford, CT 06471, part of a larger shopping plaza called I think, “Central Plaza,” and you can think of it as also being located at the intersection of Routes 80 & 139 (I think Route 80 in this area is called “Foxon Road,” and Route 139 in this area is called “Branford Road”)… (this cruise/recurring event was added to this calendar as of 2/20/2023; event start date updated as of 3/19/2023)

Please spread the word and we'll see you soon!...”… Even more info – I decided to look up the actual street address for the Milford McDonalds that’s near the Mall, just in case (since I think there’s at least one other McDonalds in town, over toward the Stratford side of town); I know that 99% of the people reading this event listing know exactly the one that’s being talked about here, since the BS&Gs have held Friday cruise nights there for many years—anyway, it’s: 1376 Boston Post Road, Milford, CT 06460, and I believe it’s technically located within the “Turnpike Square” shopping plaza (reference: https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/location/ct/milford/1376-post-rd-turnpike-square/6150.html) … And there you have it!

Quoting from the event flyer posted on the Hemmings dedicated info page (https://www.hemmings.com/events/detail?listing_id=58473) where this event was found (direct flyer link: https://assets.hemmings.com/uimage/77519114-0-0.jpg?rev=1): “…The popular Neshantic Station Flea Market is joined in 2021 by the new Neshantic Station Car Show! The Car Show will be held one Saturday each month from March through October, from 7:30am to 1:00pm… (list of dates): Saturday, March 20 … Saturday, April 17 … Saturday, May 15 … Saturday, June 12 … Saturday, July 17 … Saturday, August 14 … Saturday, September 18 … Saturday, October 16 … Registration: There is no charge for car owners to bring and show their cars, and all antique, classic, and collector cars, trucks, and other vehicles are welcome.

In lieu of registration fee, we ask all car owners to bring a cash or food donation for the Somerset County Food Bank… The Car Show is just minutes from Routes 202 and 206. To find the location via GPS, enter “111 Elm Street, Branchburg, NJ”…”… webmaster’s note – Why a car show in New Jersey on the SAAC Calendar? Reason #1 is that it’s a nice early-season event (and we love the early season events), and Reason #2 is that it seems a lot of events more local to us are either not being planned yet (obviously due to COVID concerns), or are being planned and cancelled already (which is exceptionally depressing, and for the same reason), and Reason #3 is that it just plain sounds like fun, and if I have a free Saturday, I’ll definitely consider a drive out there to check it out—if not as a participant, at least as a spectator! New Jersey is a beautiful state to visit!… (this cruise/recurring event was added to this calendar as of 2/25/2021)
